Rembrandt Harmenszoon van Rijn (15 July 1606 – 4 October 1669), always a prolific artist, became more so in his later years. Here we celebrate this period in his life which spanned from the 1650s to his death in 1669.

Always a prolific artist, Rembrandt became even more so during his later years. His work became more profound and his brush strokes more expressive as he entered old age. Interpretations of biblical and historical stories focused in on individuals rather than the more traditional depictions of dramatic group scenes, and his self-portraits became more deeply reflective. Inspired by the upcoming National Gallery exhibition, we celebrate this period in his life which spanned from the 1650s to his death in 1659.
